AN untimely suspension has robbed Blues midfielder Ryan Williams of the chance to make a name for himself tomorrow.

With Jay Harris serving a one-match ban, boss Mark Wright was ready to call on youth team prospect Williams at Bournemouth tomorrow.

However, Williams is currently serving a three-match ban of his own after being the victim of a harsh red card decision in a youth game last month – meaning he will have to wait a while longer for his senior debut.

Wright is a big fan of the Wirral-based 17-year-old, who has been at Chester since the age of 12.

The City manager said: “The thing I’m disappointed about is the young boy Williams. With Jay Harris being out, he may have started. I’ve got a lot of time for the boy. I think he looks to be a big, big prospect.”

With Chester’s squad stretched by injuries and suspension, Wright is likely to name first-year scholar Kristian Platt – a highly-rated centre-back – in his squad for the trip to Dean Court.

Midfielder Damien Mozika (hamstring) is also struggling and Tony Dinning may not be risked from the start as Wright is unsure whether he his fully match fit.

Wright added: “The bench will be filled up with people like Andy Mitchell, we’ll take a young centre-half and Tony Dinning comes back into the reckoning.

“We’ll have two or three kids on the bench, which is not ideal, but it’s great for the club to have kids coming through. If you can develop them here, why do we need to go and pay extortionate money for people?”

Bournemouth are second-from-bottom in the table after having 17 points deducted in the summer for not meeting the Football League’s terms for exiting administration

Their current chairman is former Chester director and main sponsor Paul Baker, who remains a fervent Blues fan despite becoming involved in the Cherries earlier this season.

Chester have not played since claiming a shock 2-1 victory at Darlington on November 25.
